It’s easy to forget to clean our hair tools.
Why is it important to clean our hair tools?
Using hair tools that have product build-up on them will have trapped hair, dirt, oil, bacteria, old products and maybe even dust mites. When you use hair tools that have not been cleaned in a long time, you are re-depositing grease, oils, old products and dead skin cells right back onto your clean scalp and hair.
Here are a few simple ways to clean your brushes for a few minutes of work each week:
- Pick out the hairs with a comb, a bobby pin, or your fingers. The more hair you pull out, the easier it will be to clean your brush.
- Fill the sink with warm water and shampoo.
- Soak your brush in the water for 15 minutes
- Scrub the product build-up using a toothbrush or cloth until your hair brush is thoroughly clean.
- Set your brush out on a clean towel to air dry.
- DO NOT use bleach, harsh chemicals, or other detergents to clean your hair tools.
- DO NOT boil your hair tools. This can cause them to melt or break. This can also minimize their performance when using them for your hair.
